European users often ask us about Software Subscription. Please contact your reseller, we serve russian speaking users only.
We recommend switch to subscription because this will minimize your expenses to eComStation + this will make the manufacturer search for new users on other markets (this is good for eComStation community).
If your subscription has expired - immediately contact your reseller. If reactivate it without delays, you get it for lower price.

OS/2 (eComStation) is alive while people are using and improving the system. The developers of solutions ensure long life for our operating system because computers with OS/2 make money for their customers year by year. The developers bring new industrial technologies to OS/2, feed support service, fill OS/2 with unique features to keep the solutions competitive.
Examples of solutions based on OS/2: ATM, sound processing (speech, digital restoration of sound), training devices (astronauts, oilmen), technical appliances (measuring, medical), virtual machines (mainframes, SVISTA), CMMS, restaurants, etc.
Why should you write the story today?
- You should do this to protect your investments made into OS/2 platform.
- OS/2 users are located in different countries and cities. They will read the story because of OS/2 word :) And spread the information about your company and products among own colleagues.
- The developer of the operating system will get information about your requirements and improve OS to satisfy them.
- Your story gives stimulus to thousands of users, developers and companies.
- It's easy. Solution story is based on usual product flyer.
Where to collect solutions? www.ecomstation.ru site is hosting Solutions list since 2002. Yyou can publish german, dutch, english texts there.
How to write Solutions story? Take the flyer of your product, add Introduction, add one-two paragraphs about advantages of OS/2 usage, add 2 advertisement photos/screenshots, 2 screenshots of back-end demonstating usage of OS/2.

The only way to attract new users to eComStation - start sellings of eComStation PC. Only experienced user is able install eComStation on Core 2 Duo PC or notebook. If you have resources, please join this mission and become eComStation reseller.
Here is the list of eComStation distributors, resellers and distributors of computers with eComStation pre-installed: official list, alternative list
What is eComStation PC? eComStation PC is a desktop/notebook with a non-standard case, with eComStation case badge, with eComStation pre-installed.
Why eComStation PC still doesn't exist? not popular?
- (OK, some distributors are selling PC with eComStation pre-installed, nevertheless..)
- It's impossible open eComStation shop in every city. Users are living in different countries, different cities and districts. The size of eComStation community is not large. Users are going to the nearest computer shop and purchase hardware there.
- The users always need specific hardware (manufactured by different companies, new fresh hardware). It's impossible make them purchase old tested hardware only.
- Conclusion: it's impossible make users purchase eCS PC from eCS resellers only. That's why eComStation resellers are not able offer 2 or 3 models of eComStation PC.
Why eComStation PC is so important?
- User economizes time. All drivers and software is pre-installed. No troubles with LVM or ACPI.
- Resellers will order service software, other special software from developers
- User economizes money. PC + software is cheaper than separate components
- It's very difficult make novice users purchase CD with eComStation. But it's easy sell then eComStation PC.
How to support eComStation resellers and make them promote eComStation PC?
- Support your local reseller. Buy hardware and software from the reseller again. Order a barebone or notebook from the reseller.
- Promote your local reseller if he served you without problems in your local user group, forums.
- Request system tools from the reseller
